| ``Re: 1/72 in Bloch's theorem''

| The man you are looking for is Andre Bloch.
The Bloch from the 1/72 Bloch Theorem was Andre Bloch:
http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Bloch.html
Bloch's life is one of the most shocking in the mathematical world, since most of his work was done in a mental institution where he lived for most of his life. He was psychologically damaged during World War I, and after coming back home from being in a hospital, he killed his brother, uncle and aunt.
